One of my perennial pet peeves is finding a really beautiful mug that I “must have” but it only comes in a set of four. I don’t even have room for one more mug much less four but if I could have just one… well, maybe I could find a place for it. You know? Anyway, I absolutely love these bright, colorful dishes and I’d buy one of the mugs if I could buy just one. But which one? They are all different. Hmmm… maybe that’s why you have to get all four.

Stash Tea has lots of lovely and cute cups and mugs and most of them are sold individually. There are too many that I like to list “favorites”. I’m mainly drawn to the pretty floral mugs. I also like the strawberry mug, the smiley mug and of course the ladybugs. I also see things there that I’m considering as gifts.

One more thing in this same category of “shiny”: I sort of like this set but again, it’s a set. And it’s expensive. Also the French press is a larger than I would ever need. I only make one up at a time. But that looks really nice. My French press is just plain glass and stainless steel. It would be… um… shiny to have something a little fancier.
